TROUBLE CAUSED BY A PIANO.

Attempts to Step a Young Girrs PrncIlcs
Brighten Her Into spusms
MUSHROOM, MICH, Sept. 28.-Rcsa
Forests father, who is lumberman
here, recently purchased s. piano fer his
daughter. It seemed to the neighbors
that ever since Rosa he's averaged prsc-
tice Of at least twelve hours daily, and as
she WAS not good player this became at
first annoying and then sgoniZIug. The
neighbors held council OF war,
and finally appointed commit
tee, who visited Rosa end ssked
for relief. This the young lady
indignantly refused, ard the neighbors
then had less peace than ever. police
man was consulted, and he agreed to
make his way Into Miss Rosa's presence,
and, as representative of the law, awe
the young lady into silence. The police
man readily got into the Forest residence
while the piano was being played, but
his presence and harsh manner sc
startled Miss Rosa that she went into
violent spasms, and has been alsrmingly
i'll ever since. The neighboYs are shocked
st the results of their raid, but the piano,
st least, is stilled for time.

LITERARY SUCCESS,


Newspaper men who have been strug-
Cling and striving after fame, trying TO be
funny, facetious, solemn, sad, sentimental,
spry, sparkling, odd or distinguished IN any
particular style of writing, and who have
failed and settled down to the unpleas-
ant inevitable Of a pe1functory, taste
less writing against.space sort of life,
will be envious CT the faring success OF
one Of Fort Worth's literary aldermen.
Without elementary training or prepare
ton Of any character, and without effort,
he made himself q name which is for
tune to any man. There was no for
tuitous choice of subject forced
on him by the Whirl of
circumstances it was q common
place ject-merely an official docu-
ment to the Mayor, and official papers
are pre-emtnently dull and dresry-hut
the unparalleled success CT the preduc-
ton was due entirely to the authors
style which Wss original, unique ard
forceful, and to that inherent power dis
played in the mastery manner in which
he handled his subject. 1t was said Of
Dean Swift that he could write learnedly
on broomstick, and our alderman pos
sesses the same happy faculty of magni-
flying, skillfully, trifing matters, and
then the Dean was either g Cynic or q
Stole while our city official is neither.
Human nature, fresh and warm; local
coloring, vivid and true to life; iGiomatic
independence that shows g sturdy con-
tempt for pedagogue and ledant, run
through every line and word OF the re-
markable composition. Young literary
dilettentes with heads full of Greek and
book on the shelf, have written and are
writing reams and reams OF learned,
chaste and elegant bosh and nonsense
that will never be printed, and would be
refused by shoddy advertising journal;
old writer's who have long learned the
details, snd who have regulations more
or less valuable, often have SIRE
turned with thanks" their best efforts,
but our alderman finds himself famous
on the first trial, copied by religious and
secular papers, paraded in Illustrated and
humorous papers and likely to be &C.
corded q place in the archives of the ma
tional library st Washington. Such great
good fortune seldom knocks at a mans
door twice, and while THE GAZETTE
congratulstes the distinguished author
on his precedented success, it would
advise him to rest quietly on his well
earned laurels without lessening the at
Effectiveness and neplusultraism Of his
first effort by giving it fellow.

ONE hundred young ladies mounted on
pranciDg chargers will form an escort fol

graceful compliment, no doubt, but the

him on my own recoguizance until Sep

The papers were ser7ed upon said
Fraley at night on September 20,
on the 9th inst. he came into court and
swore that he did not arrest me and did
not have any cause to ares! me.
On the Gosh inst. the case was called in

of arrest it was dismissed at my cost, say

to call them, that the Texas state license

Idle Money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The little village
of Islsp, Long Island, has murder mys-
terry. About Q O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, resident going through the woods
north Of town discovered the mutilated
body of woman half hidden in clump
of bushes. The body was recognized IS
Mrs. Francis Hawkins, wealthy widow
residing st Islap. The Islap people are
greatly wrought up over the crime, ard
should the murderer be found before the
feeling has had time 10 die cut, there will
be no need CT trial. Suspicion points
to F. S. Ashly Hawkins, the dead Iady's
elder son, as the murderer. It seems
that Mrs. Hawkins WAS reading in
her parlOr at . O'Clock Saturday,
when her two sons went out.
The elder son hired horse and buggy at
& livery stable in the village g feY nil =
utes later. He returned to the stable
with the huggy at IL o'clock that night
ana took 1t cut agsin at O'Clock on
Sunday morning. Just after he left the
stable on Sunday it was discovered by
the hands that there WAS blood On the
A4OOA LIZ bdeos-y A1GANA ctN'CNf SL-N& -
was found that the cushion OF the buggy
was saturated with blood and that the
bottom of the wagon WAS stained with it.
When Hawkins bedroom was examined
8 quantity of blood stained clothing WGs
discovered hidden IL 8 trunk. II wss
also found that there were freshly made
tracks leading from the livery stable to
Mrs. Hawkins house, and from the house
to where the body was found. The horse
that Hawkins drove on Saturday night
had bsr shoe on the left loot and 8
broken shoe on the left hind
| foot. The freshly made tracks were
made by horse similarly shed
What led Hawkins to commit the crime is
